Hang your head in shame domains (2.Viewing)

We all own one or two domains we wish we did not own.


I bought one on tbr today... are you ready?


lris.ca


If you have to ask you won't understand



What domain do you own that makes you hang your head in shame?

breathwell.ca .. I couldn't breathe well afterwards.. forgot about the "e"

Great thread [notify]MapleDots[/notify] We all certainly have many of these..more than one for sure..but I couldn't remember everything.. trying to forget my own mistakes!!

[notify]MapleDots[/notify] lol the font type strikes again

I once registered ALaCart ca - I knew it was traditionally A La Carte, but for some reason I thought A La Cart was an Anglicized version of the term. Nope, that was just people either misspelling it or stylizing it as a brand.

I also blame Toronto for their fiasco of a food services business development plan called A La Cart. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2010/09/19/toronto_a_la_cart_called_an_a_la_failure.html

Zero interest and zero clicks but thankfully I bought it during a cheap registration sale.

I advertised lris.ca at 1,250 and contacted iris.ca telling them they could have the mispell for 1k which is $250 cheaper than what I advertised it for on dan.

iris has 40 stores and lris.ca looks identical in print, lets see if I get a response.


I'm glad I'm not the only one that makes a blunder once in a while.

I probably have a few names that I currently own under the category of “What was I thinking”. One that comes to mind is BathTowel.ca. When I won it in TBR about 9 years ago, I thought it was a good name. To this day, I still have no idea what I was thinking. I only still own it because Rebel has an automatic renew. I should have canceled the domain years ago but nope, I like throwing away money I guess.

If anyone wants it for free, I will throw in a free bar of soap.

Current auction at Godaddy.

I have many like that as well but then years go by and eventually you sell one and you wonder how the heck you were able to sell a domain like that. It makes it worse for all of the other ones you own that will potentially never sell. Most of the ones like that are .com so I think the bigger audience helps.

Just don't be a babboon this week.

The bidder must not know it's a typo, right?
What happens when the auction is complete and they finally realize their mistake?

Yikes...



I found lmpact (Lmpact) which was sold by HugeDomains. Another accident?

The only shameful domain I've owned wasn't under the same circumstances, but proved to be extremely embarrassing.

It was an x-rated domain and it was the only one I ever bought... only because it was super aged (1998) and in GD's closeouts inventory. Anyway, I go to meet my gf's parents' for the first (or second?) time and I tell them all about domains. I then show my gf's father my portfolio since he was interested and the first domain in view is the only x-rated domain I own, since it started with "18".... It certainly made for an awkward moment but I explained why I bought it and we kinda laughed it off... but damn it was embarrassing. No more porno domains for me, that's for sure.


And here's a somewhat recent, and extreme example, where someone fell for a typo mistake:


Not sure if they ever paid, but the registrant's info kind of suggest they didn't imo. I think people gave dynadot some backlash over it:

Bought precison at TBR for $175 in 2013
Thought I got a steal not catching it was a mis spell until it hit my account and saw it *WALL* *DONT_KNOW*

I bought a domain Meta Traning. I knew why noone else backordered the domain. Good news was that it was only reg fee.
